BOSTON, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) announced his endorsement of Governor Mitt Romney. Senator Santorum served two terms in the United States Senate where he was also Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, the third-ranking member of the Republican leadership.

Mitt. Its time you quit! Your credibility isnt worth spit. RINOs, the Establishment, and Democrats all agree, But in the General Election, to Obama theyll flee. Against Obama, liberals and moderates know youll lose. But conservatives, Romney theyll never choose.

Mitt, our loyalty you cant buy. Back to Massachusetts, youd better fly. Just like Gerald Ford, Bob Dole, and John McCain, Nominee Willard Mitt Romney will result in the same. As a Governor, your record isnt that great. Out of 50 states, your popularity was number 48.

Your experience, the Establishment types tout. Defending federal bailouts and FDIC loan forgiveness will find you out. Democrats and RINOs cower from their liberal wives, Supporting Romney with nothing but lies. In 1994 Ted Kennedy showed Willard to be a great bane, With Mitts Bain, and Bain Capital, Obama will do the same.

Damon Corp, with Romney paid $119 million in a fine. Yet Willard says, for his leadership, its time. He claims jobs he can create and taxes he can lower, 47th out of 50 in growth he rates. Can it get any slower? $740.5 million dollars a year, fees and taxes under Mitt increased. Will the half-truths and lies from Romney ever cease?

For Liberty and Freedom, we dont need Flakes, But Romney says Healthcare responsibilities belong to the States. Conservatives stand for Self-responsibility, Self-accountability, and Self-reliance. But against these things, Willards actions scream in defiance. Establishment Republicans thinks Romney can help take back the Senate, But they know that for President, Mitt can NOT win it.

Like everything the Establishment Republicans try to do, It leads to failure, and we get the bill, as well as the screw. In their corruption, little change do they seek, They dont want our Freedom to peak. Their craving for power has pushed their bravery, To ignore our Constitution, and sell us into economical slavery.

So Willard, dont lecture us on the need for patience and compromise. Romney, be selfless. Conservatism is on the rise. Choosing the lesser of two evils, isnt what we desire. You let them rewrite the language. Wheres your fire? Romney, they accuse us falsely, and you do little. Wheres your response, or can you only twiddle?

Mitt, you dont have what it takes to lead. So with you I plead. Do you really want to go from Obama-care to Romney-care? With you, this nation will pull out its hair! Go somewhere and quietly think and sit. Know your own limitations! Mitt. Its time you quit!

Drudge seems to have decided to stop being a "news" site. Before every primary he's got a new canned headline linking to old news which has obviously been planned well in advance. All of it always to bash the current hot non-Romney, perfectly in line with Romney's negative advertising M.O.

Just got my Santorum sweater vest in the mail today...quality wool and very nicley embroidered. A little warm here in Louisiana today, but will certainly come in handy ‘round about the first week of November :-)

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander...Santorum pushes the fact that Newt previously was in favor of federal mandates for healthcare and therefore is not credible on the issues of repealing Obamneycare....well Ricky last I knew RomneyCare was passed before you endorsed Romney!

The three of them are establishment figures while Drudge has homo crush on Romney too.

If conservatives stopped with them then their power will diminish but of course that’s never going to happen, heck we have people calling themselves evangelicals or Catholics who endorse and vote for Romney or so people calling themselves republicans who say they have no problem with the homo agenda, cross dressing etc

Drudge has never been said to particularly relish his homosexuality or embrace it; in fact his gay romantic/sexual side has been described (when alleged) as conflicted and awkward.

David Brock, the former right-wing writer, wrote in his memoir Blinded by the Right about a scary date in which Drudge, after bringing Brock flowers and navigating the Santa Monica gay strip like a pro, stepped on a competing suitors foot really hard (in Drudges purported words) in a nightclub to scare him away from Brock.

Alec Baldwin stated that Drudge made an advance on him in an ABC Studios hallway, a proposition that had kind of a creepy quality to it.

Drudge denied he was gay to the Miami New Times in 2001, even as he launched into a disquisition on (as the New Times put it) the reigning DJ king of gay circuit parties and summarized his nightlife thusly: I go to straight bars, I go to gay bars.

Everyone ought to freep DrudgeReport.com and pan to the right and bottom where the “submit story” box is and post what they think of this cr@p. Let Drudge know what you think of his dishonesty. And yes, I remember wondering why he was so positive on Obama 4 years ago.

But it’s not news. Romney has been talking about this endorsement for weeks if not months, including mentioning it in the debate. Santorum’s been asked about it on the talk shows. People have been pasting the graphic of Santorum’s endorsement quote from Meet the Press here for weeks. So is Drudge a news site or a site that publishes perfectly timed Romney ads despite them being full of old information and no news?

I was just pointing out that Drudge’s link takes one to a political ad by Romney which uses Rick Santorum’s video from 2008 calling Mitt Romney the true conservative in the race and asking everyone to vote for him.

End of video is the required Romney voice over for political ads: “And I approve this message”.

That’s true, but not every GOPer went to the trouble of personally campaigning for Mitt. Bless his heart, Santorum does go all out when he decides he’s for or against something, doesn’t he? He would have been so much better off to say, like Mark Levin, “If I was voting today, I’d vote for Mitt” or something along those lines.

While it may be clever for Romney to use it in a commercial. It is disingenuous for Drudge to tout it again and in such a front page blazing way. This is old news even in this campaign cycle. Drudge's portrayal is a blatant shill job for Romney.

Rick should have figured out how to deal with this after Iowa. The audio and video of Santorum standing with Romney and saying “This is not the campaign, nobody puts words in my mouth, the words out of my mouth were that if you want a conservative as the nominee of this party, you must vote for Mitt Romney’.

While it may be clever for Romney to use it in a commercial. It is disingenuous for Drudge to tout it again and in such a front page blazing way.

"Disingenuous"?! What the heck does that mean?

Everyone knows that Drudge is supporting Mitt Romney. We can tweet, swat, stamp our feet and pout .... but that's not going to change who Drudge supports. And NO ... he doesn't have to be fair and balanced.

So let's exhale and save some strength. We've got a hell of a fight ahead of us.
